More of the same but less

Yet another male Narcissus Flycatcher near my apartment.........

After Wednesday's fall of migrants the weather improved but I had to return to work (the inconvenience!) so could only spend a little time in Goryokaku Park chasing the migrants around the cherry blossoms.

All the same species were around but on Thursday they were much more active and on Friday the numbers had dropped quite a bit...............

Not so many Blue and White Flycatchers...................

This is a female.......................

Some Eye Browed Thrush remained too..............

And there were still lots of Eastern Crowned Warbler....................

Many of the same species were on the river..........in fact all of the flycatchers amnd warblers. Also passing through was a lone Common Sandpiper, 6 Night Heron and the first Oriental Reed Warblers of the summer arrived on the 15th.................
